CoolRAMPS

Page edited by , with CNC Torch Table design by building upon the work of RepRap open source community with adherence to . Using RAMPS and 425 oz in motors from Xylotex. By combining Cool DRV with RAMPS we are calling it CoolRAMPS.

Overview

We are building on open source electronics from the RepRap project to build the OSE CNC Torch Table, until we develop our own higher power controllers within the framework of the Power Electronics Construction Set.

Technical

Credits to Kliment for developing Cool DRV (care of #Bubblerep which we are using with RepRap Generation 4 RAMPS electronics to run steppers with microstepping. We are using Xylotex 425 oz in Stepper Motors, which are rated for 2.8A max. We will run the system at partial power until we develop the Scalable Open Source Stepper Motor Controller, possibly by making improvements upon the Powerlolu GPLv2 electronics.

Sourcing

• Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52
  • Manual - File:VictorThermalDynamicsCutmaster52.pdf
• RAMPS - from Lulzbot
• Cool DRV

Integration

• See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lff2mYbA6_0 for a commercial system for $15k.
• Control code - former tool chain was DXF to Gcode with LinuxCNC, but we are moving beyond parallel port.
